The focus of this chapter is on MPC of constrained dynamic systems, both linear and nonlin‐ ear, to illuminate the ability of MPC to handle constraints that makes it so attractive to in‐ dustry. We first give an overview of the origin of MPC and introduce the definitions, characteristics, mathematical formulation and properties underlying the MPC. Furthermore, MPC methods for linear or nonlinea...

background helicobacter pylori infection is a common infection that affects human beings. this infection also affects children. different diagnostic methods such as serology, stool antigen detection, rapid urease test and histology are used to detect this microorganism. objectives the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between serology and histology/rapid urease test. patients a...

In this paper, a new incremental predictive guidance method based on implicit form of velocity to be gained algorithm is proposed. In this approach, the generalized incremental predictive control (GIPC) approach is applied to the linearized model for compensating the guidance error. Instead of using the present state in popular model based predictive controller (MPC), in the new method both pre...

background: our aim was to investigate the effects of clinical application of perioperative predictive nursing on reducing psychiatric complications in intensive care unit (icu) patients after neurosurgery. methods: a total of 129 patients who underwent neurosurgery and received intensive care were enrolled in our study from february 2013 to february 2014. these patients were divided into two g...
